Data disk

A data disk was a method of information storage using a rotating disk that could be accessed via a reading device.

In 2152, CaptainArcher led a team to infiltrate a Suliban stealth cruiser and retrieve three data disks which contained proof that the Suliban Cabal had framed Enterprise for the destruction of the Paraagan II mining colony. As the data disks were not compatible with Starfleet technology, the crew had to construct an interface in order to access the information. The crew initially had difficulty in doing so, until they realized that all three disks had to be used in unison. (ENT: "Shockwave")
